Polymer-Solvent Molecular Compounds
Crystallisable polymers represent a large share of the polymers used for manufacturing a wide variety of objects, and consequently have received continuous attention from scientists these past 60 years. Molecular compounds from crystallisable polymers, particularly from synthetic polymers, are receiving growing interest due to their potential application in the making of new materials such as multiporous membranes capable of capturing large particles as well as small pollutant molecules. Polymer-Solvent Molecular Compounds gives a detailed description of these promising systems. The first chapter is devoted to the presentation of important investigational techniques and some theoretical appr...
Organogels
This book provides a physics-oriented introduction to organogels with a comparison to polymer thermoreversible gels whenever relevant. The past decade has seen the development of a wide variety of newly-synthesized molecules that can spontaneously self-assemble or crystallize from their organic or aqueous solutions to produce fibrillar networks, namely organogels, with potential applications in organic electronics, light harvesting, bio-imaging, non-linear optics, and the like. This compact volume presents a detailed outlook of these novel molecular systems with special emphasis upon their thermodynamics, morphology, molecular structure, and rheology. The definition of these complex systems ...
Polymer-Solvent Complexes and Intercalates
This volume contains the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Polymer-Solvent Complexes and Intercalates held in Besancon, France in August 2000. As the reader will discover, results from various topics involving polymers, polyelectrolytes, polymer-like systems (self-assembling molecules, biological molecules), surfaces etc. were presented and discussed. They highlight the growing impact of this field on various scientific domains, and also the building of a scientific community concerned by the same questions.
Thermoreversible Gelation of Polymers and Biopolymers
Thermoreversible gelation is a comparatively new and growing area of polymer science. It encompasses many different systems from synthetic polymers to biopolymers. Abundant literature on the subject is scattered in many different journals, but this is the first book to gather together the current knowledge on both polymer and biopolymers thermoreversible gels. A multidisciplinary approach is taken, and extensive coverage of experimental results from electron and optical microscopy, light scattering and (new or neuron) diffraction techniques is provided. The book is organized into three main sections: Gel formation, thermal behavior and phase diagrams Gel morphology and molecular structure, gelation mechanisms Mechanical properties Polymers and bipolymers are treated separately in each section. The text is supplemented by four appendices: Phase diagrams Diffraction by helices Scattering by semi-rigid macromolecules; and elasticity of rigid networks
Fibrillar Networks as Advanced Materials
Fibrillar networks, materials belonging to the realm of finely-divided matter, can be obtained through two different systems: from polymer solutions giving rise to thermo reversible gels, on the one hand, and from organic molecules solutions, that self-assemble and produce organogels, on the other hand. this symposium was aimed at brining together organic chemists working on organogels from self-assembled systems, and polymer physical chemists working on fibrillar thermoreversible gels.
Macromolecular Symposia, No. 203
This volume contains papers based on the main lectures, oral communications and selected posters presented at the 4th International Conference of Polymer-Solvent Complexes and Intercalates held as the 63rd meeting of Prague Meetings on Macromolecules in Prague in July 2002. Many aspects of the polymer-solvent interactions, structure and dynamics in solution, gels, solids and interfaces are discussed in detail herein. The wide scope of the presented results is evidence of the growing impact of this field on various research areas.
Molecular Interactions and Time-Space Organization in Macromolecular Systems
Structural organization or disorganization in macromolecular systems has been an important subject of polymer physical chemistry during the last one or two decades. This volume summarizes the main lectures presented at the Osaka University Macromolecular Symposium OUMS '98 on Molecular Interactions and Time-Space Organization in Macromolecular Systems, where the following topics were discussed:crystallization kinetics, liquid crystals, phase separation, gelation, adhesion, complex formation, and self-organization, with emphasis on molecular interactions. Both these topics are hot issues at present and frequently are taken up as a main theme at a particular symposium. The present symposium invited leading theorists and experimentalists in these fields as guest speakers and is expected to attract the interest of a significant range of readers.
Polymer Morphology
With a focus on structure-property relationships, this book describes how polymer morphology affects properties and how scientists can modify them. The book covers structure development, theory, simulation, and processing; and discusses a broad range of techniques and methods. • Provides an up-to-date, comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of polymer morphology • Illustrates major structure types, such as semicrystalline morphology, surface-induced polymer crystallization, phase separation, self-assembly, deformation, and surface topography • Covers a variety of polymers, such as homopolymers, block copolymers, polymer thin films, polymer blends, and polymer nanocomposites • Discusses a broad range of advanced and novel techniques and methods, like x-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and electron microscopy and their applications in the morphology of polymer materials
